I really like the decor in this house, the primitive touches of baskets, furniture and organics combined with contemporary touches.  The over-all effect is comfortable, light and airy. 

Some of the rooms are too white.  I'd add some color to the kitchen, living room and bedroom.

@Oznell   The only thing I lik about the house is the front porch & dog.

@Oznell    Love it all, especially the pup of course.

All of those beautiful windows and doors, such marvelous light.

How wonderful and sunny the great room is. I would have all my meals there.

The child's bedroom and inviting porch (and dog) are other favorites.

Thank you for the wonderful post @Oznell

I' m packing my bags and when I get there I am getting rid of the old worn doors or will refinish them.  Other than that I'll not have much to do.

I know this house and it was in a formerly in a very beautiful old part of town. That area has been brought up to and beyond the standards it once enjoyed in the 1950s.  I don't live there but did in the past. 

I know I have mentioned several times about the home of a friend and the luncheons she enjoys hostng, especially at Christmas, for friends. 

The home I have mentioned which is so gloriously beautiful, the same architecture firm designed her home as this one (where my friend's son is an architect).  The bar of my friend's house is very similar, but much larger.  The porch area and the many glass doors and windows are similar. 

My friend's house has more traditional furnishings, decor and collections from the wall of cyrstal and silver to the many Persian, Asian and African rugs used throughout. What is especially different is her solid French blue library with the soft pink cloud sofa from Restoration Hardware and her use of the old with the very edgy new is wonderful.  My friend's elevator is mirrored. Her husband who traveled with several politicians (journalist) has his own man cave with all those photographs and memorabilia from his career.  Otherwise, this home and my friend's home are so very similar. I guess it has the stamp of the being from the same architecture firm.

I like this house as is. I find it warm and welcoming, open and airy, bright and clean looking...and the chandelier is very different which adds interest to the room so I would keep it.

The more I look at this, the more I like it.

Another great find.

@Oznell  I love the "bones" of this home. So many French doors and windows that bring in light. Some furniture is okay but I would replace a lot of it with my own style. I could live here very easily.

I have never heard of "haint" blue porch ceiling paint. I took a deep dive down that rabbit hole and found it fascinating. I have a huge group of first cousins that live in Virginia. They all have kids and their kids have kids. I was wondering if any of their grandchildren has followed the "haint" blue porch paint tradition. I have sent an email to a few of them tonight to see if they do.

Learn something new everyday here. I like that. I love to still learn.

Haint blue actually came to the Americas from African women who believed that it kept spooks and ghosts out.
